The Himachal Pradesh Public Premises and Land
Civil197119 sections
This law provides a legal framework for the state government and its associated authorities to remove unauthorized occupants from public buildings and land. It applies to properties owned, leased, or requisitioned by the state, municipal bodies, corporations, and co-operative societies. The Act allows the government to evict people who are staying without permission and empowers officials to recover unpaid rent or charges for utilities. By establishing clear procedures for eviction and rent collection, the legislation ensures that public property is used efficiently and that the state can reclaim spaces needed for official purposes or other public needs.
